Whirlpool WHIRLPOOL 12002213 Pulley Bearing Review

Fantastic! My Maytag PAV2300AWW fixed! Clear instructions and quality parts. The washing machine stopped spinning while it was spinning, but the agitator was still running. Be sure to follow the directions for using the washers and clamp and make sure the arrow ends up in the right place.

I read other reviews about this kit because I didn't know if I could do it myself. It was so easy. The only tricky part was that damn C-clip. I slid the flat head screwdriver along one side of the clip while squeezing the clip and shank with pliers. It took a while but I got it done. I can't believe I repaired my washing machine myself. :) Who needs a man! lol (Maytag washing machine)

I sawed off the nose of the pulley to give the necessary clearance for installation on the tank shaft. After filing it a bit to increase clearance for electronic clamping, it was very easy to install. File the plastic slowly, constantly checking the gap. If you accidentally sanded too much you can use an extra shim/washer to make up the difference to restore spec release.

After watching a few YouTube videos I found this kit to be of very good quality and easy to install. An advice; You need to bevel the edges of the electronic terminal to facilitate reinstallation, and use a pocket screwdriver or something similar to hold the transmission shaft to facilitate installation. This is the only part of this whole thing that was a bit ridiculous and forced me to use a few choice words. Besides, it's easy!
